[[circled]] 4 [[/circled]] Tangara, I November 29, 1957 Barro Colorado There are even more abundant than the Thraupis tanagers in and around the clearing. [[Gray shape - cross-hatched]] = Plain Tanager = inornata [[Blue shape - cross-hatched]] = Masked Tanager = larvata [[Left margin]] [[3 gray vertical lines; 1 gray cross-hatched vertical line]] [[/Left margin]] The Plain Tanager is the most abundant and gregarious species here. Small flocks (including up to 10 or 15 individuals are constantly flying back and forth and all around the place - feeding on cecropia fruit, leaves, etc. etc.). Usually fairly high in vegetation and often in tree-tops. [[Left margin]] [[3 blue vertical lines; 1 blue cross-hatched vertical line]] [[/Left margin]] The general habits of the golden-masked are very different. Usually go around alone or (more often) in pairs, (I have once or twice seen a couple of pairs more or less together, but that is all) Very restless and quick-moving like the Plains, but much more likely to come down into moderately low vegetation (although often high in trees too). I have never yet seen any golden-masked who seemed to be really associated with a flock of plains! [[Left margin]] [[1 gray cross-hatched vertical line; 1 gray vertical line; 1 blue vertical line; 1 blue cross-hatched line]] [[/Left margin]] The fundamental CN of the two species is very similar or identical. A comparatively sharp "Trit". Comparatively very frequent in both species too [[Left margin]] [[3 gray vertical lines; 1 gray cross-hatched vertical line]] [[/Left margin]] The Plains utter the CN's in rather rapid series as they fly about, but when a flock flies off suddenly, and in other apparently "high intensity" situations, there are suddenly accelerated into a definite Trill(CN Tr). This sounds almost
Transcription Notes:
Don't need to put [[underline]], or indent for paragraphs. I changed that.
No [[Left margins]] keyed. Fixed that.
